Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
There exist a few specification addressing the need of standardization of RDF
descriptions for Software Packages, like SPDX [0] or ADMS.SW [1].
I guess it would be great if the PTS could export on the Linked Open Data graph
/ Semantic Web, descriptions of the Debian packages, using RDF, with the
aforementioned standards.
This would enable future discovery of links between projects, packages,
releases and such by machines exploiting such self descriptive documents.
A classical form of such publishing could be achieved through content
negociations of URLs of the PTS in order to access RDF+XML or JSON
representations instead of HTML ones.
At least for consuming / GET access, this would provide an alternative to the
SOAP interface.
A variant could be to embed RDFa inside the HTML, as previously proposed in
#585740
Hope this helps.

For applications where the data is available in UDD, this will be presented
via rdf.debian.net (soon to become meta.debian.org once the namespaces are
stable and the code is stable).
For applications where the data is not in UDD, applications can still
publish their own RDF and meta.debian.org would provide permanent URLs from
a managed namespace if desired.

Yes, but not yet. There would be a <link rel="alternate"> in the head
section and a link as there is currently on packages.qa.d.o in my plan.

This bug can be closed as it's not really a bug on tracker.debian.org.
Thanks,
Iain.
